Alotta Fagina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alotta Fagina is a fictional character, played by Fabiana Udenio, in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. She was introduced in the movie when Number Two introduced himself and his "Italian confidential secretary" to Austin Powers in a blackjack game at Las Vegas. Her name is a joke on the phrsae, "A lot of vagina".
Later in the movie, Alotta seduces Austin to find out his true identity. Later, Austin is about to arrest Dr. Evil when he finds Alotta with a gun up to his assistant Vanessa's head. Vanessa knocks Alotta out cold and they both run out of the lair after starting the self-destruct sequence. She has not been seen in any sequels since.
[edit] Trivia
- Alotta Fagina is a gag name, being a parody of the name Pussy Galore from James Bond's Goldfinger.
- In the hot tub scene, Alotta whispers to Austin: In Japan, men come first, women second. This is a spoof of a scene in another James Bond film, You Only Live Twice, in which Bond is told the same by Tiger, as women bathe him.
- "Italian confidential secretary" is a reference to Mr. Osato's "confidential secretary" as she is introduced in You Only Live Twice.
- In the scene where Alotta takes off her robe and walks over to the hot tub, it is assumed she is naked. Yet when she steps in you can see she is wearing underwear.
- The scene where Austin and Alotta have sex naked in the hot tub is one of the two scenes in the entire Austin Powers movies where Austin and a woman are naked. In all the others, they are wearing clothes or at least underwear.
- The Italian translation of Alotta reads "Annabella." Annabella, a real Italian name, is similar to "Ha 'na bella" ((She) Has a beautiful).
- Some American television versions of the film, as aired on TBS and Fox Network use alternate footage in which the character's name is changed to Alotta Cleavaga (pronounced Cleave-va-jay). Recent TBS rebroadcasts, however, have restored the original version of the name.
- In a deleted scene, Basil Exposition explains that Alotta had changed her name after the events of the movie because of the inconvenience the name caused her. Basil says that her new name is Sandy Fagina.
